"so i couldnt read all emails in inbox but if you were sitting there with phone plugged in reading emails i would be able to read everything just as if i was looking over shoulder you just wouldnt know someone looking over your shoulder." security researcers call it "video jacking". it was discussed at def-con in las vegas last week. you plug your phone into a charging station... unaware that someone has hacked it. you'll get a message on your phone asking if you trust this device... most people say yes. but this allows a hacker to see your screen at the time... including passwords... credit card information... and whatever else you are doing. security experts recommend not using charging stations at all... since you don't know if they have been hacked until it is too late. a passenger on a frontier airlines flight stows a tiny "therapy" monkey in his shirt during a flight from las vegas to ohio... and we have the screening video from the t-s-a checkpoint. you can see the tiny service monkey on the man's shoulders at the john glenn international airport in columbus ohio. he was approved

a florida mother is charged with manslaughter and neglect... after her six- year-old son beats and kills his newborn sister. cameron polom has more on what the mom was doing... when her son admitted to beating the baby. "by numerous witness accounts, kathleen steele was an inattentive parent." "steele turned the car off, locked the doors, rolled the windows up and went inside the business." investigators say steele was inside cpr cell phone repair in st pete for nearly 40 minutes. kathleen left her three children a 6 year old , a 3 year old and infant daughter outside in the van. investigators say at some point baby kathleen began crying. "the six year old removed baby kathleen from the car seat and began flipping her multiple times back and forth, dropping her on the floor. he said he took the baby and kept

especially when you consider situations like the orlando florida nightclub shooting when people were hiding and trying to send messages for help young says: "if you are in an active shooter you can imagine, we're getting live information coming in from a text 911 about how many people are in the room, how many shooters there are if anyones hurt." (on cam) many major cities like new york still don't have the technology because it requires major infrastructure work, including swapping the wire system to a digital one, which could take millions of do to complete. the fcc requires mobile providers to allow customers to text to 911, but because not all call centers can accept the messages, groups like the national emergency number association have some concerns. fontes says: "my number one concern is false perception of your abilty to text to 911. the second concern that i have is that there needs to be leadership in communities across the country state level and even in

available for all consumers." and, unless spelled out, texting in an emergency doesn't provide the detailed location information that a landline does, which is why dispatchers say "call when you can. text when you can't" laura ingle fox news it looks like government employees won't be catching any pokemon on their lunch breaks anymore... at least on their work phones. the pentagon has banned "pokemon go" from all work phones. according to the "washington post"... they issued a memo to their staff saying it's not on their approved app list... because the game could be used by spies to pinpoint the locations of secret facilities. they are still allowed to use the app on their personal phones. it just has to be away from the office. one of the presidential nominees has put pressure on the other... after releasing their 2015 tax returns today. hillary clinton's tax return shows more than ten- million dollars in income... after hammering donald trump to do the same. it shows the clintons paid roughly a third of
